Treyarch has released the first official artwork for Call of Duty: Cold War Black Ops.
The promotional art reinforces the theme of the game: Soviet and American espionage in acute conflict. On the one hand, an American soldier who is literally flanked by a bald eagle, in the most subtle display of patriotism since the last of Call of Duty. On the other side, a Soviet soldier with missiles on his sunglasses, collar and shoulder – in case you didn’t know what the Soviets are looking for here.
Overall, the art is certainly an accurate portrayal of the main players of the Cold War, but it’s surprisingly strong for a game ostensibly steeped in espionage. Again, this is Call of Duty. If nothing else, our frontal spies aren’t firing rainbow assault rifles (yet) at a moon base.
Black Ops Cold War was officially confirmed yesterday, after months of rumors and weeks of increasingly complicated teasers. A trailer titled “Know Your History” offered a quick game-by-game look at Cold War tactics, and it cemented the name of the game, but it didn’t tell us much else about it. A full reveal event is slated for next week on Wednesday, August 26, so we won’t have to wait long to find out more. We do know that Black Ops Cold War will be released this year, although we are not sure if it will launch on current and next-gen platforms.
We also expect the release of Black Ops Cold War to have a major impact on Call of Duty Warzone, which will continue to work with the new main line entries.
